What's this cable go to?

I came out to get in my truck today and noticed a loose cable hanging down just behind the driver side rear wheel well. It's looks like it should probably be connected to something in the rear bumper. Anyone know what it goes to?

EDIT: Mystery solved. super_white called it... it was a sloppy aftermarket hitch install compliments of U-Haul. Thanks everyone!

Also, I got the piranha off Amazon and clipped the zips.

 

Parking brake?

Or something related to lowering the spare tire?

 

might try better pics
It looks like someone tapped a wire somewhere, maybe for a bed topper or those goober LED lights under the tailgate that fail within a year.

 

Maybe pre-wiring for bed lights?

 

Is that zip tie stock as well?

 

That wire goes to wherever the who hung it on with tie wraps tapped it into, probably as others said to supply bed power or to their goober lights underneath the truck.

 

Aftermarket garbage. Never trust a man that doesn't trim his zip ties.

 

Looks like an aftermarket trailer wiring install to me.

 

Your GPS tracker

 

Your best bet would be to follow it to the front, find that connection. Probably get rid of it/use it to pull another wire. Looks like a fairly dismal attempt at whatever it was judging by slack and no trim zip ties.

 

looks like you inherited someone else's project. gut it, and start over. there's bound to be more surprises.

 

Looks like a loose thread on a sweater. Pull it and your truck unravels.

Seriously, trace and eliminate before it bites you in the butt later.

 

It probably goes to the battery post. Somebody ran power back there for a canopy light or something. Just clip it off

Wait wait wait, can we get that fish on Amazon?
Pocket fish for zip tie trim.

 

Are you setting me up? I think he's setting me up...

Fuck it...

Yeah, it's available on the Amazon river...

Well. Now I want piranha diagonal pliers, and a squid hole punch.

 

that's a horrible thing to put in your pocket!

there's no safety catch to keep the business end closed while it's in the pocket!
